Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 259

"Wait until the water is half full and then collect it at a steady speed. Don't be impatient. Give priority to the mandarin fish."

"I know. I've played it many times."

"Caught a fish."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tiedan made an interface connection, and the loach had not yet sunk into the water.

The two people next to them immediately became envious, the fish was biting so quickly.

"Tut-lipped?"

"Well, not big." Tiedan smiled and started to collect the fish.

This time I used No. 30 fishing line again, and pulled it up directly after catching the fish.

Because it is impossible to catch fish in many lure fishing terrains, the scoop net is completely useless and you can only pull it hard.

Not only does the fishing line need to be strong, but the rod must also be hard.

A black carp weighing more than one kilogram was pulled up directly and thrown into the transfer box on the tricycle. It was convenient to fish at the gate.

"Tiedan, go add some water, don't kill the fish. I think there will be a lot of black carp today." He put away the control rod and continued fishing in a different direction.

"Yeah." Tiedan nodded and went to fetch water with the bucket.

The terrain here is quite high, so it is difficult to release water. We can only go down the concrete steps on the side of the sluice gate to fetch water.

"That's amazing! Everyone says you're good at fishing." The old man gave a thumbs up.

Even though he was against fishing for silver carp and bighead carp, that was the requirement of his superiors. He could see people fishing for silver carp and bighead carp at the sluice gate every day, and he was very jealous.

"I make money to support my family, haha." He chuckled and cast the rod again.

If you are fishing from the surface and there are no fish after searching, then there are really no fish.

But fishing in mid-water is different, you need to pull the rod frequently, as the range of mandarin fish patrolling in the evening is quite wide.

After checking that the loach was not dead, I cast the third rod and Erhu also caught a fish.

You can tell it’s a mandarin fish by the violent sound of it cutting through the water.

Before Erhu's fish came ashore, he sank the fishing rod in his hand and caught the fish.

Tiedan came up panting with a bucket of water, poured it into the transfer box, looked at them enviously, and continued to fetch water.

At least two buckets of water are enough.

Unfortunately, both of them ordered mandarin fish.

I threw the fish into the transfer station, changed to a loach and continued to cast with the rod.

Mandarin fish usually gather in nests. Once a fish is caught, no one in the nest can escape. The two began to search repeatedly along the place where they had just caught the fish.

The second bucket of water was poured into the transfer box, and Tiedan also started throwing it hurriedly.

"It would be great if we could make a loach nest here." Erhu said with a smile. The loach nest is really awesome.

"The reservoir is so small, there's no point in having a loach nest." Besides, even if we dig up the loach nest here, it won't be safe. If someone comes to steal it, we'll be at a loss. There's also a river management office managing it.

If they set up a nest and are not allowed to fish, there is nothing they can do.

The three of them cast their rods back and forth five or six times, and only caught one mandarin fish, and then there was nothing else.

"Let's do it somewhere else, Tiedan. You can float fish for black bass here and keep an eye on the car."

"Okay, go ahead and have peace of mind."

Qin Dahe glared at him speechlessly. What nonsense are you talking about?

He and Erhu began to search for mandarin fish on the left and right, which was a test of luck.

He wandered around for a long time before he caught a bass. After the bait came out of the water, the bass suddenly jumped out and took the bait, which scared him to death.

Only a stupid bass could do this.

After trying for a long time, Qin Dahe still couldn't see any trace of the mandarin fish, and he became a little discouraged.

When Tiedan brought the bass back, his fishing rod was bent.

"What fish?" Qin Dahe asked casually.

Throw the sea bass into the transfer box and turn to look at the gate below.

"Big chub, big chub." He said with a bitter face. "I can't get up."

The height from the platform above the sluice gate to the gate below is at least ten meters, so forget about catching fish.

"Let's play tug-of-war. If you can't get up, you can't get up." I've caught enough black carp in the Yangtze River, so I don't feel bad if it breaks now.

"Ok."

Tiedan then leaned forward, straightened the fishing rod and pulled in the fish.

This situation tests the ability of the line group. The maximum lifting weight of No. 30 line is at least hundreds of pounds, but fishing is different.

If there is a one-pound fish on the shore and ten pounds of force underwater, and a tug-of-war between two fish weighing dozens of pounds, the fishing line may not be able to withstand it.

Seeing the fish out of the water, Tiedan felt relieved. Once out of the water, no matter how hard it struggled, it couldn't escape, just like the flying fish in the Yangtze River.

As soon as the fish is in the air, it has no place to gain leverage and will come up all at once.

"Amazing." Qin Dahe exclaimed in admiration. A black carp weighing at least 15 or 16 pounds was pulled up.

"Hey, the black carp fish are good today, why don't you all go fishing for black carp?"

"Forget it, let's go look for it first. If nothing works, we'll go home." He smiled and shook his head.

How can the target fish be changed at will? Today his target is mandarin fish.

But after looking for it again, it seems that there is no hope. I can't even catch any loaches, but there are a lot of bass.

He put away his rod in frustration and started walking back with the three bass in his hands.

Erhu was also sitting on the ground smoking dejectedly. He only looked up when he saw Qin Dahe coming.

"There are not many mandarin fish here, all we catch are sea bass." "Of course there are. The reservoir hasn't been dry for many years, so we just can't catch any." Qin Dahe frowned.

Do we really want to build a loach nest here?
Reservoirs don't have to worry about predatory fish destroying the ecology. They are sealed waters and there are only so many predatory fish in them.

It's like destroying a loach nest. If you pull them out quickly, it will be too eye-catching.

"Let's go home first. Come back and try again in autumn."

I guess it’s because of the temperature. Although it’s windy now, the temperature is still quite high.

A few people packed up their things. There were three mandarin fish in total. They threw one weighing more than one kilogram to the gatekeeper, who was so happy that his mouth was grinning from ear to ear.

"Next time you come over, I'll open the door for you."

"Haha, no problem." Qin Dahe nodded. If he gave him some sweet treat, he could continue fishing next time. It was just a mandarin fish.

There must be mandarin fish here in the reservoir. Let's go back in autumn and try it out. Mandarin fish are very aggressive in autumn.

When they arrived at the yard, Qin's mother was a little disappointed to see that there were only so few fish, because she usually caught a lot when she went out.

There were too few fish today, so everyone shared some fish to eat. Qin Dahe picked a mandarin fish, and the other two took sea bass.

He can just sell the remaining black carp and split the money tomorrow morning. There is no need to calculate too much between brothers.

After Erhu and the others returned, Qin Dahe asked his father about their fishing experience.

"I don't know either. I just called but the call didn't go through." Qin's mother said. The three old men also brought a dog, so there was no need to worry about safety.

"Oh, son, let's build a shed for your car. It's so painful to leave it exposed to the sun like this."

Qin Dahe took a look at the car and thought it was not good to expose the car to the summer sun every day. He nodded and said it would not be difficult to make one.

The countryside has large spaces, and a shed in the yard can become a private garage, where you can get in your car as soon as you walk out the gate.

"Yan'er, what's for dinner?"

"Braised duck and half an old chicken, simmered in a clay pot at noon." The little girl squinted her eyes and said that she could eat mandarin fish again.

"So, shall we eat this mandarin fish tomorrow night?"

"Yeah, let's save it for now." She nodded. She had chicken soup today and would eat it tomorrow.

At seven o'clock, Qin's father still hadn't returned, so Qin Dahe called him.

This time it finally connected.

It turned out that Qin's father fell into the water this evening, and his phone got wet and he just turned it on now.

"Did you catch a big fish?" Qin Dahe asked curiously.

Although my father is a good farmer, he is very stable on the land. Generally, no one can pull a fish weighing dozens of kilograms into the water with him.

"Damn it, the rod is full and I can't even stand it up when I catch a big fish." Qin's father on the other end of the phone was a little depressed.

After so much difficulty in securing the giant creature, I unexpectedly found that not only could I not get it out, but I also fell into the water.

"When will you come back for dinner?"

"You guys eat first, I'll be back soon. Get the shrimp cage ready first and set the nets tonight."

It's cloudy this afternoon, and it might rain. A rain will cause the internet to crash, costing hundreds of dollars.

"I understand."

After hanging up the phone, I told my mother to serve the dishes and start eating. I was starving.

The little girl was hungry too, but she woke up at 4:30 and ate something.

"Brother, I'll give you a wing." Clay pot chicken soup is basically Yanyan's exclusive dish, which is used to nourish her body.

She also wanted to leave some for her mother and Qin's father, but was rejected. They only needed braised duck and vegetables. It would be more appropriate for pregnant women to eat more old hens.

After dinner, Qin Dahe went to clean the shrimp cages first. He hadn't done it for several days and didn't know if it would rain tonight.

Spread out the shrimp cages, shake out the debris on top, then stack them one by one in the corner and prepare the material packets.

It is quite useful to use rapeseed cake and earthworm powder directly and wrap them in gauze.

Before the work was finished, the roar of a diesel engine was heard, and soon a large tricycle entered the yard.

His family has quite a lot of cars now, two tricycles, one off-road vehicle, a scooter and a bicycle. Almost no one rides bicycles now.

"Dad, how are you today?" He turned on the light, said hello to Uncle Six and the others, and was about to go forward to move the fish.

"Bullshit, just a blue carp." He said depressedly.

When the transfer box was taken down, the fish was still quite big, weighing more than 20 kilograms.

"Sure, this fish is worth six or seven hundred." I'm so envious. Just one black carp is enough to keep me busy.

I also need to figure out how to improve my efficiency in fishing for herring.

"The one that escaped today was really big, weighing at least a hundred pounds."

Qin Dahe: “.”

The classic tactics of fishermen are: the one that just sat down and ran away is the biggest one, and the one who goes home after catching nothing says "the weather is bad".

He didn't believe it. He heard that last time a fish weighing 133 kilograms was caught and the horizontal rod was pulled up.

This one probably happened because of tug-of-war. He was afraid that the fish would escape, so he jumped into the water and prepared to raise the rod, but he still couldn't raise it.

But you really need to find a way to catch herring, because they bite slowly and you can end up catching them if you're not careful.

"Dad, how many people have you come today?"

"Five or six puffs." The old man lit a cigarette and said bleakly.

Three people would go through five or six actions in a day. If they didn't make money, the team would have disbanded long ago.

At least we caught a big shipment today, so everyone can make some money.

Dabao and his friends had thought about going it alone, but they didn't have a car to travel back and forth, and if they caught any fish, they would have to find a way to bring it back.
